Written between 2012 and 2018, these poems roam across borders, cultures and history, on language, nation, violence, flight and death. Cain and Abel, Lenin, William Blake and Donald Duck appear beside boat refugees and victims of school shootings, while the voices of the dead admonish the living. Through role poems and many voices, the book seeks a new contract between the living and the dead.
